Imam Khamenei in Meeting with Students:

The revolution has made progress in all Its goals and ideals

The following is the full text of a speech delivered on May 28, 2018, by Ayatollah Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, in a meeting with students on the 12th day of the month of Ramadan.

Hopefulness is the necessary condition for progress

Young forces -- all young individuals -- are another important element. Young forces play a pioneering role: they are, in fact, like a locomotive. They play the role of an engine: when a locomotive moves, it naturally makes the rest of the train move. Of course, this role can only be fulfilled if the responsibilities, which fall on the young forces, are carried out correctly. The spirit of hope, determination, and planning -- these three elements --are necessary as well. First of all, you should not lose one bit of hope. Some are constantly injecting despair into the society: this is carried out as a hostile course of action. Those who are doing this may not really be the enemy, but they are doing the enemy's work. Anyone who injects despair into the society is carrying out the enemy's work. They say, "It is not possible. It is of no use. Everything is in a mess." --This is the enemy's work. Hope is a necessary condition. Another element is determination and willpower: this involves carrying out decision-making: such elements require decision-making. Another element is planning. These tasks are not possible without planning: you should have these three elements in mind.

Ramadan, an opportunity to unleash the soul from the material world: Imam Khamenei

Ramadan provides the human soul with an opportunity to break free. The month of Ramadan is an opportunity for our souls to be purified of material factors that surround us. It provides an opportunity for our souls to become illuminated. This is the reason behind the existence of the month of Ramadan in sharia - it is an opportunity.

A selection of the statements of Imam Khamenei:

Why aren't the three European countries reliable?

Ramadan prayers draw us towards the sweet spring of divine mercy: Imam Khamenei

Like all other prayers, the prayers of the month of Ramadan draw us towards the sweet and pleasant spring of divine mercy as well. This month is the month of humbleness, repentance, piety, return to God, self-edification and morality. It is also the month of morality and the month of acquiring and implementing moral qualities.

U.S. 'support for Iranian people' is a big lie, has political reasons behind: Imam Khamenei

The U.S. politicians falsely claim that they support the people of Iran: these lies cannot be believed. Their goal is a political one. They want to destroy — using our own people —the security that exists in our country today. Iran’s security is unique to West Asia—where we are located. But the enemy sets out to make the Iranian people, themselves, destroy it.

What is the main philosophy of fasting during Ramadan? Imam Khamenei elaborates

We should increase motivation in our organization, and we should work harder. So, our responsibility is to work hard, to avoid sins and – to put it briefly – to show piety. Piety, which has been considered as the main philosophy and goal of fasting in the month of Ramadan, involves this.

Ramadan is the cause for enlightenment of hearts: Imam Khamenei

This month bestows so much light and spirituality upon a person’s heart and soul that others can see it in their appearance as well. Others can understand based on their speaking and manners that they have become more enlightened: advanced in spirituality. True servants of God are like that.

Why is the month of Ramadan superior to other months?

Allah the Exalted has made this month superior to others. One of the reasons for this superiority is the act of fasting; another reason is that He sent down the Holy Quran in this month: another reason is the Night of Qadr.

Read some verses of Quran every day, even if only half a page

I would like to advise our dear youth and our young students to attach significance and attend to matters related to personal piety, righteousness and purity. You should never forget to recite the Holy Quran on a daily basis although it might be a page or half a page. You should read the Holy Quran every day and you should preserve your relationship with it. Prayers contain extraordinary teachings as well. They strengthen your relationship with Allah the Exalted. This is the truth of the matter. Jul 2, 2016 We should continue our movement towards the Quran. My dear ones: Iranian, pious, and revolutionary youth; you should increase your familiarity with the Quran and reap the benefits from it every single day; this will be a source of strength, power, and dignity for you. I hope that by Allah's favor, all of us will awaken. I hope that the Islamic world awakens so that we can carry out these tasks.

For a nation, an imposed and unjust peace is even worse than war: Ayatollah Khamenei

One of the fundamental needs of all humankind is peace. Of course, we have always reiterated that peace has to come along with justice. For a nation, an imposed and unjust peace is even worse than war. Humanity needs security and peace; anyone who threatens these two necessities has threatened the whole of humankind: today, those who threaten peace, threaten humanity.
